`Clerk of Court
`
`Dear Litigant:
`
`Enclosed is a copy of the judgment entered in your case. If you disagree with a judgment or
`final order of the district court, you may appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for
`the Second Circuit. To start this process, file a “Notice of Appeal” with this Court’s Pro Se
`Intake Unit.
`
`You must file your notice of appeal in this Court within 30 days after the judgment or order
`that you wish to appeal is entered on the Court’s docket, or, if the United States or its officer
`or agency is a party, within 60 days after entry of the judgment or order. If you are unable
`to file your notice of appeal within the required time, you may make a motion for extension
`of time, but you must do so within 60 days from the date of entry of the judgment, or
`within 90 days if the United States or its officer or agency is a party, and you must show
`excusable neglect or good cause for your inability to file the notice of appeal by the
`deadline.
`
`Please note that the notice of appeal is a one-page document containing your name, a
`description of the final order or judgment (or part thereof) being appealed, and the name of
`the court to which the appeal is taken (the Second Circuit) – it does not include your reasons
`or grounds for the appeal. Once your appeal is processed by the district court, your notice
`of appeal will be sent to the Court of Appeals and a Court of Appeals docket number will
`be assigned to your case. At that point, all further questions regarding your appeal must be
`directed to that court.
`
`The filing fee for a notice of appeal is $605 payable in cash, by bank check, certified check,
`or money order, to “Clerk of Court, S.D.N.Y.” No personal checks are accepted. Please see
`District Court fee schedule at https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/programs/fees. If you are
`unable to pay the $605 filing fee, complete the “Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis on
`Appeal” form and submit it with your notice of appeal to the Pro Se Intake Unit. If the
`district court denies your motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, or has certified
`under 28 U.S.C. ' 1915(a)(3) that an appeal would not be taken in good faith, you may file a
`motion in the Court of Appeals for leave to appeal in forma pauperis, but you must do so
`within 30 days after service of the district court order that stated that you could not
`proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
`
`For additional issues regarding the time for filing a notice of appeal, see Federal Rule of
`Appellate Procedure 4(a). There are many other steps to beginning and proceeding with
`your appeal, but they are governed by the rules of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and
`the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. For more information, visit the Second Circuit
`Court of Appeals website at http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/.
